LEG PULLING
GOING TO THE LEFT. “Why is it that in a fog black enough to obscuro familiar landmarks a men generally finds himself bearing to the left? An Australian with many years’ experience in the bush has a plausible explanation. The track of a man lost in the bush, he says, generally maps a course like an exaggerated mark of interrogation, always to the left. Why? Because, suggests this theorist, the right leg is slightly stronger than the left, consequently the right outwalks the left, bearing the owner leftwards in a curve.”—Morning Post.
